Let's divide 470017 by 23
Let's see how many times 23 fits into 470017.

On to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 23, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 47 / 23

Step 2:
23 can be fit into 47 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 46 from 47, we get 1.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 10 / 23

Moving on to step 3:
23 can be fit into 10 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20.0
If we take 0 away from 10, we end up with 10.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 10, then repeat: 100 / 23

Advancing to step 4:
The number 23 fits into 100 4 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 204.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 92 from 100.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 81 / 23

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 81 by 23, we get 3 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2043.0
Subtracting 69 from 81 leaves us with 12.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 127 / 23

Advancing to step 6:
The number 23 fits into 127 5 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20435.0
If we take 115 away from 127, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 23 fits into 120 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 20435.5
If we subtract 115 from 120, we get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 50 by 23, we get 2 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20435.52
Deduct 46 from 50 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
40 divided by 23 is 1 with a remainder of 17.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20435.521
If we take 23 away from 40, we end up with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
23 goes into 170 7 times with a remainder of 9.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20435.5217
If we take 161 away from 170, we end up with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 90 by 23, we get 3 and a remainder of 21.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20435.52173
Deduct 69 from 90 and we're left with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
210 divided by 23 is 9 with a remainder of 3.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20435.521739
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 207 from 210.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 23 fits into 30 1 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20435.5217391
Subtract 23 from 30 to get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
23 can be fit into 70 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20435.52173913
Subtracting 69 from 70 leaves us with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 20435.52173913, with a leftover of 1e-09.
